Beyond Blue

NEW Styrofoam™ Brand ST-100 Series XPS

The ST-100 Series low GWP formulation represents a sustainable technology shift that reduces the product's embodied carbon, meets U.S. state HFC regulations and supports DuPont's 2030 Sustainability Goals. This game-changing formulation is a new grey color instead of the traditional blue — so you’ll know it when you see it.

Introducing DuPont™ Styrofoam™ ST-100 Series XPS Insulation
The Styrofoam™ Brand ST-100 Series has been formulated to meet sustainability goals for climate action regulations in U.S. states. But some things remain unchanged: these new XPS products offer the same high performance and long-term value under the same Styrofoam™ product names with ST-100 descriptor – so there’s no need to change your specifications.

For additional details on compliance, refer to our U.S. compliance map and ICC-ESR 4755 code report.

Published EPDs and Embodied Carbon

DuPont’s Styrofoam™ Brand Insulation GWP Phase-Down program offers lower embodied carbon product solutions compliant with specific US HFC and GWP Regulations without compromising on performance.
Remember: Embodied carbon should only be reported by manufacturers using third-party verified EPDs, and comparison of EPDs should be interpreted with caution due to complexity in modeling product life cycles and the lack of quantified uncertainty in reported values. Many factors, including embodied carbon and other sustainability considerations, should be used to guide product decisions.

Note+: DuPont can offer customers the maximum two product valuation towards the Option 2, 1-point Embodied Carbon/.LCA Optimization credit.
DuPont™  Styrofoam™ Brand XPS also qualifies as 1 product towards the Option 1, 1-point.

 
 
 

*To convert kgCO2e/m2RSI to kgCO2e/bdft, divide by 12.24. The 12.24 factor was calculated by the following equations:
1m2RSI = 1m2 * 1.14 inch = 1.02 ft3 (where 1m2 = 10.76 ft2 and 1.14 in = 0.095 ft)
1bdft = 1ft2*in = 1ft2*(1/12 ft) = 0.0833 ft3
1.02/0.0833 = 12.24 m2RSI / bdft
